According to local media reports, there were at least three victims. According to Pittsburgh Review-Tribune, two of the victims ran into the high school, which was subsequently locked down, and police are now searching the woods near the school for the shooter, who reportedly came out of the woods and opened fire as school let out.

All three victims are in stable condition, according to Pittsburgh's CBS affiliate KDKA-TV. According to KDKA, one victim, a 17-year-old, was grazed in the head by a bullet and reportedly in stable condition.

I saw this because I check the post gazette a few times a day. I then checked CNN and didn't see it on there. School shootings no longer get national exposure because I guess people are used to it.

I had to search specifically too. Your observation is tragic.

Nothing on CNN yet. Isn't this usually something they do a breaking news for?

I got a tweet from the AP on my iPad. I don't have twitter set to push notifications and I don't follow the AP.

Victims aren't cooperating with police at the present time, raising suspicion it could be drug or gang related.

I've had CNN on all day and not one word.  Wolf Blitzer just started with BREAKING NEWS!  OBAMACARE WEBSITE STILL SUCKS!!

That explains the relative lack of coverage.
